TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fuel assembly for a boiling water nuclear reactor. [Technical background of the invention] The first conventional example of a fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor is
This will be explained with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a fuel assembly, in which the upper part of the bundle of elongated cylindrical fuel rods 4 is connected to the upper tie plate 3, and the lower part to the lower tie plate 2. It is connected accordingly. In this bundle, the fuel rods 4 are maintained at equal intervals by spacers 5. In addition to the fuel rods 4, there are 2 fuel rods in the bundle.
A book water rod (not shown) is incorporated. The outer periphery of this bundle is channel box 6.
The channel box 6 is connected to the upper tie plate 3 at the upper part and to the lower tie plate 2 at the lower part. The combustion rod 4 has a plug-like shape (not shown) inside the cladding tube 7.
It is loaded with a large number of UO 2 fuel pellets,
Both upper and lower ends of the cladding tube 7 are sealed with an upper end plug 8 and a lower end plug 9. The upper end plug 8 is provided with an extension that can be inserted into a support cavity in the upper tie plate 3. The lower end plug 9 has a fitting portion that fits into a support cavity in the lower tie plate 2. FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the fuel assembly, in which the fuel rods 4 are arranged squarely in eight rows and eight columns. As shown in the figure, the fuel rods 4 are squarely arranged in 8 rows and 8 columns at equal intervals on the inner surface perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the channel box 6. Further, the gap between the outermost fuel rods 4 and the channel box 6 is called a water gap, and this water gap is also set to be approximately equal to the spacing between the fuel rods 4. Four such fuel assemblies 1 are arranged squarely in the reactor core, and a control rod 10 is inserted in the center between the fuel assemblies to form one unit cell. This fuel assembly 1 includes two water rods 11 and eight gadolinia-containing fuel rods in a channel box 6 in order to average the output.
12 are included. That is, the two water rods 11 are arranged diagonally in the center,
The fuel rods 12 containing gadolinia are arranged at the second round from the outermost circumference of the squarely arranged fuel rods 4. This gadolinia-containing fuel rod 12 is made by mixing several percent of gadolinia (Gd 2 O 3 ) as a burnable poison that absorbs thermal neutrons into fuel pellets. FIG. 3 shows a side view of the water rod, and as shown in the same figure, the water rod 11 has an upper end plug 15 and a lower end plug 15 also made of Zircaloy at both ends of a hollow tube 13 made of Zircaloy. It has a welded structure. Additionally, this hollow tube 13 has a total of tabs 16 for ensuring the spacing between the spacers 5.
14 pieces are welded. A plurality of cooling water inlet holes 17 are provided near the lower end of the hollow tube 13, and a plurality of cooling water outlet holes 18 are provided near the upper end. The cooling water is configured to flow from the bottom to the top. Furthermore, the fuel rods 4 are loaded with five types of fuel pellets with U 235 content varying in five levels as shown in the table below.

As explained above, in the conventional fuel assembly 1, the reactivity of the fuel assembly 1 is low because the U 235 content of the fuel rods 4 arranged at the outer periphery of the fuel assembly 1, where the thermal neutron flux level is high, is low. It also had the disadvantage of poor fuel economy and fuel integrity. [Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel assembly in which the reactivity and output of each fuel rod are equalized to improve fuel economy and fuel soundness. [Summary of the Invention] The present invention provides a boiling water nuclear reactor in which a plurality of fuel rods are bundled and arranged at approximately equal intervals in a channel box having an approximately square cross section, and a water rod is arranged in the center. In the fuel assembly for the fuel assembly, the cross-sectional area of the water rod portion has a cross-sectional area equal to or more than four of the fuel rods, and a plurality of fuel rods containing a burnable poisonous substance are arranged on the outermost periphery, and The fuel assembly is characterized in that the content of each fissile nuclide is non-uniform. [Embodiment of the Invention] A first embodiment of the fuel assembly according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the present invention, in which the same parts as those in FIG. In the same figure, fuel rods 21 are squarely arranged in eight rows in both the vertical and horizontal directions in the channel box 6 of the fuel assembly 20, and the four rods in the center are extracted. Four water rods 11 are inserted in the holder. Furthermore, two gadolinia-containing fuel rods 12 are arranged diagonally on the outermost periphery of the square array of fuel rods 21 so as to surround the corner rods 19, and a total of eight fuel rods 12 are placed in the channel box 6. It is supposed to be arranged within. With the above configuration, the present invention has four
Since the water rods 11 are arranged, the neutron moderation effect at the center of the square arrangement becomes large, and the thermal neutron flux at the center of the fuel assembly 20 increases. Therefore, water rod 11
The reactivity of the surrounding fuel rods 21 is improved, and in particular the output of the fuel rods 21 adjacent to the water rod 11 is increased by about 10%. Therefore, the output of the highly enriched fuel rods 21 arranged in the center of the square arrangement can be improved. Further, since the gadolinia-containing fuel rods 12 are arranged at the outermost periphery of the square arrangement, for example on the diagonal line surrounding the corner rods 19, the thermal neutron flux at the outer periphery of the square arrangement can be reduced. Therefore, the output of the fuel rods 21 arranged on the outer periphery of the square array is reduced, and the output of the fuel rods arranged on the outer periphery is prevented from increasing abnormally. As described above, the output within the cross section of the fuel assembly 20 can be averaged. In the first embodiment, the local peaking coefficient indicating the relative value of the output of each fuel rod 21 with respect to the average output of all fuel rods is calculated to be about 1.1, which is much flatter than the conventional example and improves fuel integrity. In addition, conventionally, the output increased in the center of the square array where the thermal neutron flux level was low, and the fuel rods 21 in the center
Since the U 235 content is high, the reactivity of the fuel assembly 20 as a whole increases. Here, FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the infinite multiplication factor K ∞ , which indicates the likelihood of a chain reaction occurring in the nuclear fission reaction system, and the burnup GWD/T, which indicates the consumption rate of nuclear fuel, for a fuel assembly during power operation. In the figure, the solid line is the characteristic curve of the first embodiment of the present invention, and the broken line is the characteristic curve of the conventional example. In the same figure, it is recognized that the value of K ∞ shown by the solid line improves by about 0.5% at burnup of 10 GWD/T or more. Therefore, the present invention can consume nuclear fuel more effectively than the conventional example, and can improve fuel economy. In this example, the enrichment distribution within the fuel assembly 20 is configured in the same manner as in the conventional example, but when the local power peaking coefficient is made the same as in the conventional example, the fissile nuclide of the fuel rod 21 The content of U 235 can be adjusted to 2 to 3 types. Therefore, manufacturing of the fuel rods 21, assembly of the fuel assembly, and management thereof can be facilitated. Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of the present invention. Components in the drawings that are similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and explanations of overlapping parts will be omitted. In the figure, a single cylindrical water rod 23, which has a larger inner diameter than the conventional one, is inserted into the center of the fuel assembly 22. The inner diameter of this water rod 23 is selected to have a cross-sectional area equivalent to four conventional water rods 11. In this second embodiment, in addition to the effects obtained in the first embodiment, since the water rod 23 is a single one, the assembly work of the fuel assembly 22 can be further facilitated. In the second embodiment, the water rod 23 is shown as a cylinder, but it may have a rectangular cross section. FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the third embodiment is an example in which the number of water rods 11 is increased from four in FIG. 4 to twelve. In this third embodiment, in addition to the effects obtained in the first embodiment, the number of water rods 11 is increased, so that the neutron moderation effect in the center of the square arrangement is further increased, and the fuel assembly 25 is Thermal neutron flux in the center increases. Therefore, the reactivity of the fuel rods 21 around the water rods 11 is improved, and the combustion efficiency can be further improved than in the first embodiment. Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the fuel assembly of the fourth embodiment. In the figure, the arrangement of the fuel rods 12 containing gadolinia is shifted from that of the first embodiment. With this configuration, the combustion assembly 26
Even if the distribution of thermal neutron flux changes, the burnup of the fuel rod 21 can be adjusted according to the change depending on the first embodiment. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the fuel assembly of the fifth embodiment. The fuel assembly 27 of the fifth embodiment is a cylindrical UO 2 pellet or a small diameter pellet or a UO 2 pellet with a hollow part formed in the axial direction instead of the corner rod 19 shown in FIG. 2 , which has the highest thermal neutron flux level.
A configuration in which the fuel rod 24 is replaced with a fuel rod 24 loaded with low-density pellets, etc., which are increased by mixing the powder with ceramics such as ZrO 2 that hardly absorb neutrons, and a single water rod 23 is inserted as shown in FIG. It is. With this configuration, U 235 near the fuel rod 24
This has the effect of keeping the content low and further making the power distribution of the fuel assembly 27 uniform. [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the power distribution of each fuel rod can be made uniform to improve the soundness of the fuel rods, and nuclear fuel can be consumed effectively to improve fuel economy.
